of the Forty fourth Congress. He is very pleas
antly remembered In Washington as a gentle
man of courtly manners and liberal enter
tainer. They used to tell a story about him
that think never got into the newspapers.
During the darkest days of the war there was
a squabble in Syracuse lover the appointment of
postmaster. Two factions of the Republican
party h ad candidates, and each had sent to
Washington numerousy signed petitions for
the ppointment of its favorite. Finally, to get
the matter settled a delegation composed of
the wealth1est men of the town and several of
the most prominent ministers and lawyers,
headed by General Leavenworth. visited the ma
tional capital and secured an audience with
President Lincoln General Leavenworth had
carefully prepared his speech to Mr.. Lincoln,
and it something like this:
MIR. President 1t is with great reluctance
that intrude upon you this morning. We
appreciate the awful responsibilities and per-
plexities of position, and do not forget that
the very life OF the Nation is in your hands.
But. Mr.. President, the people OF the great.
loyal North are at your back aud they are pray
ing, ST, that your life may be spared and that
you may be given strength to carry this war
through to a successful issue"
Mr.. Lincoln listened to General Leaven worth
with some impatence until he reached this
point and then interrupted him with:
Il assure you, my dear sir, that it isn't the
war or the army that is worrying the life out of
me: it is that blamed Syracuse postoffice that is
keeping me awake nights"
General Leavenworth did not finish his speech.
The delegation presented their case IN the brief
est possible manner and felt much more COM
Portable when they reached Pennsylvania
avenue than they did in the presence of the
